So, you tell someone you are disappointed in your kid and that is a signal to your neighbors to hang them???? You guys are really reaching to create something not there.
"I'm disappointed in Pence, he didn't do the right thing"
Trump knows rioters are armed
"Let's walk to the Capitol, I'll go with you"
Trump orders the SS agents to take him to the Capitol
"lets walk to the capitol.." sounds terrifying, at least it wasnt hot outside
If they are armed, as their leader well knows
Walking outside in Texas, more than 75% chance you are standing near a person who is armed. It is legal in Texas, not so in DC
Just because People carry weapons doesnt mean they are going to shoot you. I agree
Maybe they were worried about their personal safety because they had seen the clashes with Antifa. Maybe, but it is illegal in DC
There were plenty of those that broke out in DC during that 2 day period of the 5th and 6th If you say so
This post shows that, deep down, you know you've lost the argument and are hanging on to an insignificant detail.
Here's the facts:
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/armed-insurrection-what-weapons-capitol-rioters-carry
10 months after J6, FBI still had not found any evidence that firearms were used in the J6 riot. Sure, time might have uncovered another gun or three in the general vicinity of the riot. Yet here you are, making the case that Trump was told someone was arrested with a gun and still wanted to go to the Capitol, thereby providing the conclusive turn in the case which makes him leader of an insurrectionist. The list of "weapons" noted at link is carried at almost any riot, so if we are to accept the premise of your argument, ANY riot is an insurrection.
If you are going to push the Reichstag Fire nonsense, you could do a much better job than you are doing here.
Deep down, I'm believing contemporaneous police observations. Armed demonstrators are a significant finding.
deep down I am believing that riots typically have armed demonstrators..
How many guns were fired at the capital that day? We all know the answer.. we all know the results.
Maybe, just maybe, those guns were not for what you think they were but what they are actually for..
The rioters were actually armed. Some had guns
What were the guns actually for?
Who knows, 2nd Amendment demonstration that they should be able to carry? As OldBear said, they did not use them even though Capitol Police did.
Once again, does actions (what they actually did) outweigh speculation or supposition?
Bannon to testify
Bannon, Facing Jail and Fines, Agrees to Testify to Jan. 6 PanelStephen K. Bannon, the former Trump campaign manager and White House adviser, made the abrupt about-face after the former president authorized him to talk to investigators.
WASHINGTON With his criminal trial for contempt of Congress approaching, Stephen K. Bannon, an ally of former President Donald J. Trump's who was involved in his plans to overturn the 2020 election, has informed the House committee investigating the Capitol attack that he is now willing to testify, according to two letters obtained by The New York Times.
His decision is a remarkable about-face for Mr. Bannon, who until Saturday had been among the most obstinate and defiant of the committee's potential witnesses. He had promised to turn the criminal case against him into the "misdemeanor from hell" for the Justice Department.
But with the possibility of two years in jail and large fines looming on the horizon, Mr. Bannon has been authorized to testify by Mr. Trump, his lawyer told the committee late on Saturday in a letter, which was
reported earlier by The Guardian.
